Scott Stapp and....Jamie Foxx?
 

Scott Stapp on a Jamie Foxx CD? Just might be.

JAMIE FOXX FIXIN' TO RELEASE SECOND SET: And he says it's gonna be classic.

(Jul. 7, 2004) *It's no secret that actor/comedian Jamie Foxx can "sang." In fact, he was nominated at the BET Awards for Best Collaboration along with Kanye West and Twista for "Slow Jamz."

"We're gonna get back in the lab and come out with something incredible, something that is so great," Foxx told MTV.

The actor, who released his only album, "Peep This" a decade ago, is finalizing the follow-up with Kanye, among many others. While the track list has yet to be decided for the fall release, Foxx has logged studio time with everyone from Snoop Dogg and Tank to Scott Stapp and Slash.

"You never know what might be on it. We might do 46 tracks, 'cause I got friends," Foxx said. "It's gonna be called Ambidextrous, which means I'm goin' in different ways. It's gonna be a grown-up record."

Thats Wayyyyyyy Cool :D

Ugh!

To me it sounds like the only thing I would even care about listening to is whatever Scott does..... snoop dog, YUCK! Can't that boy choose an album to sing on that's not going to have any hiphop crap on it, but just good ole rock n roll???

It's called being an artist and open yourself up to different forms of music. Growing not just getting stuck doing the same thing.

Go Stapp.......

I'm sure that Stapp could choose to sing on anything he wishes :D . I agree with musiclover291...Go Stapp.

This isn't really that much different than Mark Tremonti playing guitar on an album by "Larry the Cable Guy" is it? There are lots of instances of people who write and perform in different genres of music working together. You never know when working with someone new just might turn you on to something new for you within your own brand of music.

Maybe Jamie "sangs" some rock and roll. :D

Exactly!!...and of course...no one is saying anything about Slash...now that dude is a major shredder..and yet...he's working with Foxx too.. :bigeyes: :laugh:

:jam: Stapp

Oh for fuck sake, honestly what the heck is wrong with Stapp. :mad: Out of anyone he could choose to make a record with, it's with stupid comedians and stupid rap stars. This makes me angry, Stapp has changed alot, by just choosing to work with rap stars you can tell that his music is going to be different. I don't know what to expect anymore, I love Stapp with all of my heart, but I really don't know what to think of his upcoming music anymore. :dunno:

First of all Jamie Foxx is not a stupid rap star or stupid comedian. He is great talent who sings R&B and if you weren't so narrow minded you would know that Fox has a gospel background he started singing in the church so I can see the connection. Unlike you Stapp is trying different forms of music and meeting new people. More power to him. Who knows he maybe working with Latin artists as well which is great because music is for everyone white, black, latin etc.

I think it'd be cool if Scott told some jokes on it. Maybe he could get a comedy career going too. And don't diss Snoop. I like him.


H-D :pimp:

I think it's cool. I wish there was more information about it. I'd like to know if Scott did some back-up vocals or what.

Hayley, I'm very surprised you feel that way. That's not like you. You usually support Scott. Let's just give it a chance and see what comes out. Although, I am concerned about him working with 7 Aurelius. According to his resume - 7 hasn't worked with rock singers. But, I have to put my faith in Scott that he'll come out with music that I love. Just like he did with Creed.

so can jamie fox really sing? what was his first album like? stapp and slash on there has my interest for sure but i'm not sure what to make of it. well its got stapp and slash it can't be that bad right?

That might come out really interesting. If throws some jokes at it people will know a side of him that they're not used to. As long it's not low jokes, it will be good for him.

But Hayley has a point. It seems Stapp is haging out with the wrong crowd latelly! Like I said, it seems. I'm not trying to judge anyone here.

We all have different opinions, thanks very much.

I'm not narrow minded. Sorry for speaking my opinion, geesh.

I know. I still do support him, but I am just unhappy right now about the choises that he has made so far. I am still going to support him, and I will still buy his album, right now I am just unsure about what it will sound like, seeing as who he is working with. I'm just unsure, that's all I can say.

I'm hoping he will. I will give this a chance, I do still believe in Scott, and I will support him with whatever he does, but if I don't like the music he comes out with, then I can't help the way I feel. Rock music is my soul, it is who I am, all I listen too. I will give him a chance, though.

Me too Hayley. That's why I am concerned about this 7 Aurelius connection. But remember Scott did say on Craig Kilborn that he is not a rapper.

Marcos, I get the impression that this is a musical CD, not a comedy CD. I tried to find some more information out about it, but I haven't had any luck yet.

What is the wrong crowd rappers vs. rockers. What's the difference?

Both have negative and postive influences.

I respect that rock music is your soul maybe Scott will open the doors for some of his rock fans to learn to love R&B and rap.

Yes, you have a point there. I really hope he doesn't turn to that side though. I do respect the fact that everyone loves different kinds of music, but I am just passionate about the music that I listen to and don't love any other kind.

Hmm. Interesting. I don't really know what to say, because I dislike R&B and rap, and all the music in between. It just doesn't appeal to me. It would be really, really strange to see Stapp out there in the rap industry, and I don't know if I could turn to that side of music just because Stapp is a lyrical genious, as I hate rap music. And also I think Stapps lyrics will change if he is going to be working with a rap producer, and rap artists. :(

I understand I love all music but rock is also my soul. But I am trying to remain open until I hear Stapp's project before passing any judgement. I guess I have a little more faith in this project because I have heard some rock, r&b and rap collaborations that have been great.

And I guess the reason I think so differently is because I don't like any rap and R&B music. So for Stapp to become involved in both of these, it feels weird and I didn't see it coming, which is why I am not open to it at all. But, like I keep on saying, I do believe in Stapp and hope that he will keep to rock.

I'm with Hayley on this one. I'm not really happy with the direction he's going in. If he goes all Miami Sound Machine on us, I won't be buying that album. And I love the man's voice, don't get me wrong. But I'm not really and R&B girl or a Snoop Dogg kind of fan.

Yeah, and it's hard because when rock music is such a big part of your life, you can't just turn head to a whole different kind of music, because of one man. Stapp is amazing, a very talented song writer, but the music plays a big part in the making of a band, obviously. It's hard because I love Stapp, but I hate rap music.

After reading this thread thru...that's i guess where i differ from a lot of you...i love music...all music...even have gotten into a bit of rap...not a lot, 'cause it has to grow on ya...but rap is very poetic if you listen to it close enough...

everyone has their prefered tastes in music...but as i see it's like jumping into cold water...until you try it, you don't know how refreshing it can be...

And that is what i think about all the stuff we keep hearing stapp is doing...it will be refreshing...a breath of fresh air...everyone will see just how much talent this man does have...that he can wear many caps and they will all look good on him...;)

~peace

That's what I can't see. I can't see any art, and content to rap. My brother forced me to listen to an Eminem song one day, I did, and I just can't see any potential to it. There is just nothing there, where as with rock, it just fills my soul with an emotion that I can't explain.

Seriously, can you see Stapp rapping? Or mixing rap with rock? :eek:

Not everyone shares the same tastes in music. I for one am not a big rap fan, at least not what I have heard. The closest I come to it is Rage Against the Machine, and it's the music (mainly Tom Morello's guitar playing) and the beat that got me into them. And R&B (at least the current scene) just doesn't move me the way rock or other genres of music do. I love jazz, classical, blues and even some pop, but today's R&B scene does nothing for me.

some older rap is okay like the beastie boys (who are still cool) and old r and b like marvin gaye and stevie wonder. current day stuff at least in the mainstream is terrible though, although eminiem is probably a diamond amongst the rough.

Agreed. I forgot about the Beastie Boys. I like them, their older stuff, anyway.

Love that guy. And I like a mix of metal and rap, gets my heart pumping.

listen to "Fuel" by Metallica and then "No Scrubs" by TLC or Nelly "Air Force One", and a little country in the middle "A COUNTRY BOY CAN SURVIVE" by Hank Williams Jr.

You know, keeps me well balanced and opens the mind.

Let me clear something up here. Scott has said himself he will not be rapping. He said he is a rock singer. So let's not jump to conclusions just because he is not working with your typical "rock people".

And as far as rap goes. I am soooo not a fan. But, I do like Linkin Park alot and they do their own type of "rapping" which is really cool.

I like Linkin Park too, it's a great combination of sounds.

I am sure Stapp isn't going to be rapping.. These rap/ R &B singers, maybe trying something new themselves. Everyone may be totally surprized...I may very well be some good stuff!!!

He also said Creed wouldn't break up during the same interview... :D

(sorry, couldn't resist!)

I must add I do remeber back right after the Weather tour ended him and Kiki were intereviewed at a Golden Globe award party and he said that he wanted to take a year off travel spend time with his family and he was interested in acting and trying different kinds of music and he talked about hip hop and the interviewer thought he was kidding and so did I and he said that he was working on some things. So I guess he was not kidding.

Ever thought that at the time there had been no decision about Creed's fate, so he didn't know what the deal was? That interview was done in February. :D

Good Point......Ya know....Loretta Lynn recorded an album produced by Jack White of the White Stripes......and her style of music didn't change....talk about a strange combination. Ever thought that maybe producers enjoy working with people who do other types of music....that it gives them a break from their usual?

Stapp's music isn't gonna be rap......I'm sure it will be different....but it won't be rap.

I agree with you jooji_2, I'm sure that producers like to try different things just as much as the artists themselves do. As far as different artists working together....what could be more diverse than Kid Rock and Hank Williams Jr :D

Anyway...I think Stapp's cd is gonna be great, and something very different too.

Oh, and did you know that Jack White is in Loretta's new vid? Yea, he plays the guitar. Loretta herself even said that she was surprised at how country it really sounded. So just because an artists in one genre moves into another, doesn't necessarily mean that it's a bad thing :) .

That maybe true, but if I don't particularly care for the genre, I don't know if I want to spend my money on it.

Good point I just have this feeling that his project is going to be great. I have respect for the fact he trying something new with new people.
